What's holding back the progress of IPTV in Australia?
Is it the speed of our broadband? Is it access to content? Is
existing content relevant for the internet? Is the issue really how
you get the content to your TV screen?

Or is it simply a factor of vested interests, competing
commercial models and a struggle to find the right business
model?

Today on Twisted Wire we try to get to the bottom of the issue.
We hear about the experience in those Asian countries where
watching TV over the internet is very prevalent. The ABC tells us
about adoption of its iView service and we look at TiVo, which is
set to offer TV delivered over the internet to supplement its digital free-to-air time-shifting offering.
